Chapter 16

1Sarai, Avram's wife, had borne him no children. She had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.

v'-sa-RAI e-SHET av-RAHM lo ya-l'-DAH LO, v'-LAH shif-KHA mitz-REET u-sh'-MAH ha-GAR

אוְשָׂרַי֙ אֵ֣שֶׁת אַבְרָ֔ם לֹ֥א יָלְדָ֖ה ל֑וֹ וְלָ֛הּ שִׁפְחָ֥ה מִצְרִ֖ית וּשְׁמָ֥הּ הָגָֽר׃

2And Sarai said to Avram, “Look, Hashem has kept me from bearing. Consort with my maid; perhaps I shall have a son through her.” And Avram heeded Sarai's request.

va-TOMER sa-RAI el a-v'RAM, hi-NEH-NA a-tza-RA-ni a-do-NAI mi-LE-det, bo-NA el shif-kha-TEE, u-LAI i-BA-neh mi-ME-nah, va-YISH-ma a-v'RAM l'-KOL sa-RAI.

3So Sarai, Avram's wife, took her maid, Hagar the Egyptian—after Avram had dwelt in the land of Canaan ten years—and gave her to her husband Avram as concubine.

4He cohabited with Hagar and she conceived; and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was lowered in her esteem.

5And Sarai said to Avram, “The wrong done me is your fault! I myself put my maid in your bosom; now that she sees that she is pregnant, I am lowered in her esteem. Hashem decide between you and me!”

6Avram said to Sarai, “Your maid is in your hands. Deal with her as you think right.” Then Sarai treated her harshly, and she ran away from her.

7An angel of Hashem found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the road to Shur,

8and said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” And she said, “I am running away from my mistress Sarai.”

9And the angel of Hashem said to her, “Go back to your mistress, and submit to her harsh treatment.”

10And the angel of Hashem said to her, “I will greatly increase your offspring, And they shall be too many to count.”

11The angel of Hashem said to her further, “Behold, you are with child And shall bear a son; You shall call him Ishmael, For Hashem has paid heed to your suffering.

13And she called Hashem who spoke to her, “You Are El-roi,” by which she meant, “Have I not gone on seeing after He saw me!”

14Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; it is between Kadesh and Bered.

15Hagar bore a son to Avram, and Avram gave the son that Hagar bore him the name Ishmael.
